TRON Legacy (2010)

It's a bootleg from Comic-Con. Not the best quality, but it will do.

All I can say is.... hell yes?

[Spinal]

That title is awful.

[Sxottlan]

I think I enjoyed the audience reaction more than anything. If only because the visual quality is so low. Although from what I'm seeing, it's like the demo doesn't exactly get what made the first lightcycle fight so great (the 90-degree angle turns, the almost expressionist look of the whole film).

[soitgoes...]

That title is awful.This. Hopefully they fix it.

[megladon8]

I thought the first one was balls, but I'm always up for improvements.

I really like Jeff Bridges, too.

[Teh Sausage]

I'm getting really tired of numbers-as-letters titles. What started this trend off? Seven is the earliest film I can think of which used it, but I seem to recall the title was printed as normal on the posters...I think it was only when they released it on DVD they changed it to Se7en.

Seven is the earliest film I can think of which used it, but I seem to recall the title was printed as normal on the posters...I think it was only when they released it on DVD they changed it to Se7en.The thing with Se7en is when you look at the title you still read "seven". With Tr2n I read "stupid gibberish."

[DavidSeven]

Yeah, the placement of that "2" makes no sense at all.

[D_Davis]

They should place the number "2" after the word "Tron".

For example:

Tron 2

I know it's unorthodox, but I think people will get used to it.

[Ezee E]

All the trailers have been taken down.

I'm going to call this movie Turtwoin. Almost like Tartooine.

[D_Davis]

I'm going to call it:

7R0N2 :: 2 Kewl :: 4 joo

[Sven]

2ron would be better, though still terrible.

[D_Davis]

T R O N

[Dead & Messed Up]

I'm cool without Tron 2, or T2on, or 2ron, or whatever the fuck they call it.

[D_Davis]

[Dukefrukem]

footage gone :(

[Spinal]

2ron would be better, though still terrible.

But then that sounds like an Elmer Fudd version.

[Qrazy]

I hope Tron guy has a cameo.

[MadMan]

That title has "Massive Failure" written all over it.

[monolith94]

2rons, 1 cup.

Ummmm.

Jeff Bridges = me in the seats!

[megladon8]

So Daft Punk might be doing the score.

Freaking AWESOME.

[Spun Lepton]

I, for one, am greatly anticipating Tr ... Truh ... TRUH-TWO-ON.

:|

[eternity]

Tron 2.0 worked just fine for the (pretty awesome) video game, didn't it?

[megladon8]

Tron 2.0 worked just fine for the (pretty awesome) video game, didn't it?


Really?

I thought that game was supposed to suck balls.

[Sycophant]

This is now called Tron 2.0 on the IMDb and lists Tr2n as a previous working title.

[Sycophant]

Really?

I thought that game was supposed to suck balls.

Metacritic aggregates a pretty positive score (http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/tron20?q=tron) for the PC version.

And word has it that the designers intended it to be good, as well.

[Acapelli]

daft punk's doing the score

fuckin a

[Ezee E]

The last time Daft Punk did a score (or at least one of them), it turned out amazing.

I think there were console versions?

I have played Tron 2.0 before, and yes, it is a very good game.

[D_Davis]

http://www.flynnlives.com/media/video/0xendgame.aspx

Looks sweet.

[Sven]

Wow. This is now very much on my radar. I love the way it combines the lovely simple designs of the original with more clicks and whistles (while retaining the spirit of the old effects... at least in the trailer *crosses fingers*).

Also, WTF digital young Jeff Bridges.

Also, WTF old-man-in-the-room-at-end-of-2001 Jeff Bridges.

Also, what's the storyline?

I am very intrigued.

[D_Davis]

I love how little music there is.

[Spun Lepton]

Oh, man, I am ALL OVER this.

[Ivan Drago]

Those visuals + Daft Punk doing the score + 3D = Mind explosion

2010 now suddenly looks like a better year for movies.


The last time Daft Punk did a score (or at least one of them), it turned out amazing.

Damn right it did. I have the Irreversible score playing in my car. So far no one's been creeped out.

[Spinal]

This looks utterly ridiculous. I can't wait.

[[ETM]]

This looks utterly ridiculous. I can't wait.

The original was utterly ridiculous. It was the only thing going against it. If this manages to get the ridiculous down to manageable levels, it's gonna rock.

[transmogrifier]

This looks utterly ridiculous. I can't wait.

Ah, now I understand your intense anticipation for Antichrist :)

[Spun Lepton]

It wasn't ridiculous when you were 11.

[[ETM]]

It wasn't ridiculous when you were 11.

I didn't get it when I saw it first. I was younger than 11.

But I'm not 11 now.

[megladon8]

I hated Tron. Thought it was a piece of crap.

But man...that was really cool. And that little bit of music that creeped in was great.

[Dukefrukem]

ummm that looks pretty cool.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Guess I should finally see the original.

[Morris Schæffer]

Very slick. But also very cool, almost zen. This trailer exudes confidence.

[lovejuice]

love it too. a big prop for being retro and faithful to the original. with how advanced gaming technology is these days, i bet there was lot of pressure to make it more "social-relevant" -- like replacing good ol' snake with some first person shooting.

[trotchky]

the instant disney logo kind of kills the whole viral marketing thing they have set up

the movie looks cool though

[bac0n]

http://www.flynnlives.com/media/video/0xendgame.aspx

Looks sweet.

Has anyone seen my jaw anywhere? I think I accidentally kicked it when it fell to the floor.

[Grouchy]

Guess I should finally see the original.
Same here.

[Justin]

That teaser was incredible, I can only echo the comments made previously. I will say though that I am very happy that they decided to change the title. And since I am such a big fan of the original I will say that this is easily my most anticipated film of next year.

[DavidSeven]

Uh, YES.

[dreamdead]

Yeah, this looks really impressive right now. I can only hope they've got a story to match those visuals.

[Ivan Drago]

Bah, its coming out on December 17th, 2010. I want this to come out NOW, dammit!

Motherfucker. I just recently saw the first one and really liked it. I'm very excited for this.

[Ivan Drago]

Motherfucker. I just recently saw the first one and really liked it. I'm very excited for this.

I need to see the first one. But hey I've got a year and two months to do that.

Seriously...this is my most anticipated movie of 2010. I don't think I've ever had to wait for my #1 anticipated movie of a year for so freakin' long during a calendar year.

But this is interesting considering it comes out the same day as The Smurfs and Yogi Bear, and Rapunzel follows 8 days later, all in 3D.

Someone sees Tron recently and likes it?

[Morris Schæffer]

Yeah, looking forward to it. Cool poster and the 3D aspect, well, I wouldn't have it any other way.

[KK2.0]

I've just rewatched the teaser and noticed that this one doesn't need to worry that much about CGI artificiality :P

And if there's a project that was born to take advantage of these IMAX 3D shenanigans is this, hopefully it's more enjoyable than the old movie.

[Watashi]

This is pretty much my most anticipated film of this year.

Parts of the score have possibly already leaked. You can take a listen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeLYRrMKJJs&feature=player_embedded#

Best score of 2010? I say indeed.

[Henry Gale]

I've been listening to that on and off for the last couple of hours now. Even if it does end up being fake, someone did their most awesome Bangalter/De Homem-Christo impression and made me very excited for this movie. But assuming it's real: holy sweet goddamn.

I'm not feeling it frankly. Like some of the reactions on youtube claim, this sounds generic, bleepy. It lacks punch, drive.

I am looking forward to the movie however. Didn't know you were such a massive fan of the Tron verse.

Daft Punk for Oscar!

Too early?

[Ezee E]

That's apparently fake.

And Drago, two people can't be nominate for Best Score, so it won't happen.

[megladon8]

Even with it being fake, I dig it.

Does anyone have a download link to the full version of the song?

All I can find for download is little 1:30 samples.

*spittake*

This movie cost HOW MUCH?


Tron 2 has a reported budget of anywhere from $300-$360 million, and that's without including the amount of money that Disney will undoubtedly spend in advertising.

Including prints of the film, and a marketing / advertising campaign for a movie of it's stature, you can easily add another $100-200 million to the movie's cost. If its budget holds up, and after other costs I've mentioned, Disney could end up spending an all inclusive total of $400-$560 million on Tron Legacy.

http://blog.boxofficespy.com/2010/01/tron-legacy-box-office-budget-tron-2.html

[Kurosawa Fan]

Holy Lord that's a lot of money.

[[ETM]]

Heh, no pressure, eh Kosinski? Wow.

So let's get this straight, a sequel directed by a first time director to an awesome film from 30 years ago that is largely unknown by the populous has one of the biggest budgets of all time...

I like it.

Just saw the preview, and absolutely loved it.

Insane budget though.

Don't forget it stars a complete unknown! But at least he's surrounded by bankable blockbuster names like Jeff Bridges, John Hurt and Michael Sheen.

But wait! It's in 3-D! And scored by Daft Punk. The kids love 'em!

Description of new trailer:


- A good deal of exposition from Bruce Boxleitner
- An introduction to the main character - Son of Flynn
- A lot of footage from the Tron-world.
- Remember the arcade from the original film? Remember the atmosphere in the arcade, with Flynn being king of his little place. That is what the Tron-world is now like.
- Son of Flynn is thrown into the world, and there is a very cool shot of the Encom laser rearing it's head behind him.

[Dukefrukem]

read some of the reaction to the new trailer... this came out of nowhere it seems...

edit: Morris got the first quote first.


Hi Harry,

I was one of the "lucky few" to get a ticket to today's Tron Legacy IMAX 3D event in London - via that viral pitcell.com site. Although you'll probably get loads of these, I thought I'd jot down some thoughts for you.


Brief rundown of the trailer:
- A good deal of exposition from Bruce Boxleitner
- An introduction to the main character - Son of Flynn
- A lot of footage from the Tron-world.
- Remember the arcade from the original film? Remember the atmosphere in the arcade, with Flynn being king of his little place. That is what the Tron-world is now like.
- Son of Flynn is thrown into the world, and there is a very cool shot of the Encom laser rearing it's head behind him.

Sadly we only got to see it once which was disappointing, considering how long they made us wait.

But I think, from what I saw and remember, Tron Legacy is going to be great. At the very least, the visuals will be remarkable.

(If you use this, I'm Cosmosboy.)

All the best.




It was very frantic from this point out. First thing we see is a full on Recognizer. It was badass. Lots more moving parts. The cockpit seemed to rise up the legs like an elevator. Inside we see Flynn Jr. We see a shot of Young Flynn (presumably Clu). We see a badass old Flynn with a posse of other programs behind him. It looks to me like Flynn totally owns the place. We see lots of frisbees being thrown. We see lots of light bikes smashing each other up. We see a light quad-bike getting in on the action. We see the gal from Bones laying on a pretty badass couch.


All in all the trailer was very fast paced and kinetic once we entered the computer world. Immediate thoughts are Flynn feels like an antagonist in this film. The look of the computer world feels a little different than the concept trailer that was first debuted at Comic Con...that being largely very dark. This trailer seemed the complete opposite. It was like going to The Apple Store actually. Everything was gleaming white and very bright.

The one in front of Alice In Wonderland was orgasmic. This is the next highlight of anticipation.

Exceedingly blurry trailer, but I detect coolness. But I'm surprised this one seems to be getting so much anticipation. I always thought of the original as merely decent and this sequel has provided no hints of an interesting story. Cool visuals only get you so far.

[Ivan Drago]

People in my audience were cheering when the plastic was pulled off the Tron arcade game in the trailer. This is still my most anticipated film of 2010.

[Watashi]

Here it is. (http://www.program-glitch-esc.net/)

In full HD glory.

[Sxottlan]

Naturally, the trailer isn't in front of the movie they said it would be.

So now I'm going to try to resist watching it until I eventually see it on the big screen. I had to stop when the motorcycle pulled up in front of Flynn's.

[Morris Schæffer]

We've got Boxleitner!!:)

[Skitch]

Any idea when we're getting the original on Bluray? I've been waiting patiently, but I'm beginning to tap my foot...

[Morris Schæffer]

Now that I've seen it in High-def, that is some cool shit. Seeing those dusty arcade machines lined up really makes me think this movie is going to be powerful in a "I-really-miss-the-good-old-arcades-of yore" kinda way.

Yes, this looks like unique, visually arresting enterainment.

[Spun Lepton]

Watched the trailer again. I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.

[[ETM]]

Was it shot in 3D like Avatar or shoehorned into it?

I believe it was shot like Avatar. I even think they used the same motion capture techniques, or at least I hope they did.

[eternity]

They're using Lightstorm's second-gen 3D tech. Avatar used the first-gen.

[Morris Schæffer]

A cool Tron article at

http://www.empireonline.com/features/the-story-of-tron-legacy/

Weird, but I'm suddenly really starting to feel the excitement take over.

[eternity]

This movie is going to be huge. I hear more eloi talking about the trailer than Alice in Wonderland itself.

Bugs the shit out of me when people see me wearing my Tron shirt and going "Hey, did you know they're making a movie of that!" ...then what was it before?

[D_Davis]

Now that I've seen it in High-def, that is some cool shit. Seeing those dusty arcade machines lined up really makes me think this movie is going to be powerful in a "I-really-miss-the-good-old-arcades-of yore" kinda way.

:)

Yeah - that was the best part of the trailer. Totally awesome.

The other night I went to this pizza parlor that had original working Ms. Pac-Man, Missile Command, Dig-Dug, and Mr. Do's Castle machines. It was awesome. Some of the best pizza I've ever had, too.

[Spun Lepton]

Yep, seeing it in HD made a difference for me. I can't say I'm falling out of my seat with anticipation, but it looks a lot more promising. The soundtrack is probably going to be phenomenal.

[KK2.0]

yes, those dusty arcade machines gave me goosebumps, Daft Punk score too.

so far, so good, but i'm not watching anything else until release.

[Spinal]

I'm hoping that this is the next Speed Racer.

[megladon8]

Is it bad that the thing I'm most excited for with this movie is the Daft Punk soundtrack?

I really hope the music has a Daft Punk flavor to it, rather than it being a generic action/sci-fi score and Daft Punk were brought on to do it simply for name recognition.

[Wryan]

Holy Young Jeff Bridges Face!

wtf.

[megladon8]

Holy Young Jeff Bridges Face!

wtf.



Yeah, I hope they iron that effect out before the movie's release.

It looks okay at certain angles, in certain lights...but the scenes where he's talking, the emotion in his voice and the emotion displayed in his face (particularly his eyes) just do not match up at all.

[Wryan]

They did a better job at the beginning of the third X-men movie.

I will assume so. They wouldn't ask Daft Punk otherwise in my opinion. The recent trend of finding music artists to do scores is pretty awesome. They've done pretty good.

[megladon8]

I would not complain if Nick Cave was hired to do the scores for every movie from now on.

[Morris Schæffer]

He looks like a young Alec Baldwin also!

This is definitely from the trailers and such, but I'm not sure.

Yeah there have been so many false leaks that I am skeptical of anything that isn't coming straight from Comic-Con. I'm trying to temper my expectations for their score. As long as it still has an electronica feel, I'll be happy, but if those snippets are for real I'm not too big a fan of the orchestral parts. The synthesized excerpts sounds so much better, more appropriate, and less generic, so whatever the real thing is I hope they keep that predominant.

If nothing else it'll be an awesome main theme, which they played at last year's Comic-Con when they revealed the new light cycle.

[number8]

Yeah, those are real. They're deliberately experimenting with incorporating classical orchestra and granular sounds into their usual music style for the score.

[transmogrifier]

This movie looks awesome.

I disagree. Disagree with a vengeance.

[Sxottlan]

That musical cue at the end of the first trailer I'm thinking must be from them. The drum is sped up so fast it almost sounds like distortion or an actual drum trill, to borrow from my old school band days.

Yes, the "UPDATE: Fakes and fan created" part was not there when I originally posted it.


Though it says the six tracks featured in the media player are legit. Which makes sense, since parts of them were clearly used in the trailers.

[EyesWideOpen]

How has Disney not re-released the first film on dvd to coincide with the sequel? It seems like common sense and the best time to make money off it. The dvd has been out of print for sometime and "very long wait" on netflix. The trailer for Legacy looks interesting but I'd like to see the original first.

The dvd has been out of print for sometime and "very long wait" on netflix. The trailer for Legacy looks interesting but I'd like to see the original first.

My wait time in Netflix says: "Now".... :confused:

[EyesWideOpen]

My wait time in Netflix says: "Now".... :confused:

I just deleted it from my queue and re-added it and still say "very long wait". I've had it at the top of my queue for over a month and it's said the same thing. It might say "now" for you because depending on where you live they use different shipping centers.

[EyesWideOpen]

Do you want my copy of the DVD?

Thanks, for the offer but after doing some checking online most of the blockbusters by me carry it so I'll stop by and check it out on tuesday.

[MacGuffin]

I saw the preview for this today and it looked awesome. Count me in as one who wants to see it.

[Sycophant]

Saw the trailer in front of Scott Pilgrim. I never saw the original, but this looks so boringly serious, it made me want to die of seriousness overdose. So effing serious.

I was just going to send it to you for free if you'd like a copy to own. I don't care for the movie much at all.

Let me know.

Like I mentioned I've never seen the original Tron (I never really had any interest in it) and I mainly just want to watch it for completionist sake. But if for some reason I end up loving it I might take you up on that offer.

Because this sequel is out in December. They'll release a new edition of the original then.

Whazza?

I didn't get that from the trailer at all. I see a ton of cool money shots and action sequences. Nothing serious about that. The first film had a lot of humor. I'm sure this film will too (it's Disney after all).

[Watashi]

I just watched the original Tron a few months ago. It's such a weird and strange film. I'm sure kids these days would be bored as fuck watching it, but I find it such a blast.

it still looks and sounds very stylish, even with the dated fx - some of them aren't even computer generated, but hand drawn animation from Disney, i've found that reding a book from Who Framed Roger Rabbit's animation director (!!)

I just saw it for the first time about two years ago. An oddity for sure, but an engaging and entertaining oddity.

[EyesWideOpen]

Ok, I watched it today. First off, no wonder Blockbuster is going out of business $5.50 for an old dvd? Ridiculous. But on to the film it was pretty entertaining. I really liked the "rotoscope" effects with the gray actors. It's not something I could see watching over and over but I'd glad I saw it.

I felt the same way. I watched it a few months ago for the first time and I think it must lose some of its magic if you didn't watch it first as a kid when those sort of effects would have seemed super cool.

There's something really off about CGI Jeff Bridges.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Isaac3159/two-jeffs.jpg

Bulging cheeks, maybe? Or maybe it's just the damn orange lighting.

[Morris Schæffer]

He looks cuddly. There's no other way to describe it. You just wanna pinch those puffy cheeks and go "cuddy cuddy cuddy cuddy. Yes, who's a good boy, who's a good boy eh?"

[Skitch]

Well it is supposed to be his son, yes? So I'm okay with him looking a little different.

[Kurosawa Fan]

It's the eyes, too. They didn't get his eyes right.

[number8]

What? No. His son is played by Garret Hedlund.

[number8]

Although, actually, the second Clu was made when Flynn returned several years after the first Tron. So it makes sense that they look different.

[Henry Gale]

If it were just confined to the game, that would be fine, I could put it into my head as an "avatar" that isn't quite as detailed as it should be. But it's just so weird to see the CG Bridges tucking the young Garrett Hedlund into bed.

It's the cheeks, the jaw, the eyebrows, the generall puffiness of his face, and the unpexpressive eyes tucked so deeply into all of it. And once it's all in motion, the movements just don't seem to move or react fast enough to come across as an actual human personality (or even a well-done, falsely animated one, for that matter).

Hopefully it's still being rendered and refined and the footage looking the way it does in the trailers is a result of it being released months before the locking of the picture.

[monolith94]

Watching the trailer for this before Inception got me so damn excited. I had a big fat grin on my face the whole time.

Poor CGI work there. Which is too bad because it's an effect that requires Avatar-levels of photorealism to really work.

[Watashi]

I think it looks terrific.

[megladon8]

I don't see how. It looks like a very typical CGI human face - plastic-y, doesn't move right, doesn't emote properly.

Unless they're cleaning it up a lot before the movie is actually released, I'm no impressed.

Uncanny valley creeps me out.

Reasons why this movie will be a clusterfuck:

- It's Disney.
- The director has no feature experience.
- The source material just isn't that good.

Prediction: Awesome CGI visuals, overlong by about 20 to 30 minutes, weak to non existent plot.

In regards to the Bridges face, my initial hit when I first saw the trailer was that it was supposed to come across as slightly creepy. Perhaps due to the original's theme of man merging with computer. Instinctively, it seemed to make sense.

But then I know nothing about the new film's plot or intentions, so I may be off.

EDIT: I mean, I know the intention of the film is to make money, but apart from that.

I assumed it was a cgi fuckup of Hulk proportions, and that they'd continue to refine it up until release weekend.

Awesome. I hope the art direction is as impeccable as the promotional material suggests; it seems Oscar-worthy for that particular category. I think I should really see the original Tron as it looks like something I'd enjoy and at the same time, the sort of film that could potentially be remade every thirty years or so (unlike Suspiria, for example).

[Dukefrukem]

;292911']I think a ST:TOS-like refresh of the special effects would help it a lot. Not replacing them - just cleaning it up, especially the shoddy rotoscoping.

What is really distracting is the black & white faces and the off/on color scheme. It changes so much as the movie rolls on. And the ending scene completely takes away from the scope of the tron universe. Feels very empty compared to what it looked like towards the beginning.


And it has nothing to do with the sfx.

I could have done without the thing left with whatever that is. Just seems to be there for the sake of filling the space on the left, as important as it may be in the film. Also, the way Wilde's hair is blown onto her face is awkward, especially with her expression.

Otherwise, though, I really like it. Very nice homage to the original image while still looking really exciting and modern.

[megladon8]

With the news of Marvel's film licenses officially being taken over by Disney after Thor and Captain America (that is, aside from the ones still owned by other companies like Spider-Man and X-Men), I thought this was pretty cool.

I don't think they can. If they're not in the uncanny valley by now, they're really damned close to it.

That may work, though, for a movie about maleficent computers.

We live in the time where technology can successfully emulate MOST things in a movie. Limitations still exist though, and more than ever, it's frustrating when filmmakers stumble by doing something they just cannot do and didn't NEED to do to. Unless if young-Bridges is used effectively enough to seem crucial to Kosinski's vision of the film, then it really should not have been done.

We'll see. No use on debating what none of us know. Context is key.

Me, I saw Tron in the theaters when it came out. I was 10 - the perfect age to see that movie. I taped it when it was on TV a year later, and watched that tape over and over and over and over... needless to say the movie is one of the big movies of my childhood and I'll be seeing Tron Legacy as soon as I am able.
